interactive language learning

Following our previous introduction of using H5P to create interactive videos and course presentations, this workshop provides participants with hands-on experiences of: a) trying out a variety of interactions that can be embedded in multimodal instructional materials, and b) designing and creating their own interactive videos and interactive course presentations. This workshop welcomes participants who teach courses delivered by CLT’s Moodle course system, as well as those who use the Laulima course system, but would like to explore the potential of using H5P in Laulima in the future. No prior experience with H5P is required.

In this workshop, Dr. Richard Medina will demonstrate two kinds of language interaction activities structured around scenario-based learning and digital storytelling. In the first part of the workshop, participants will be introduced to H5P as a tool for constructing student-ready branching scenarios. In the second part, Richard will demonstrate an activity that uses Twine to support learners in constructing their own branching scenarios in the form of interactive fiction. Participants will have the opportunity for hands-on exploration of both tools. Prior experience with H5P and Twine is not necessary.
